Chapter 840 Back in Dresbert
Chapter 840 Back in Dresbert
Upon re-entering that state, he stopped in a small abandoned town in the south of the territory, where he rested before continuing on his way back to Dresbert.
...
In the central square of an abandoned city that once had 60,000 inhabitants, Vicente sat on a stone bench while a fire roasted beast meat in front of him.
In this place, where abandoned carriages lay in the middle of the streets, doors and windows broken or open, skeletons here and there, along with signs of destruction on the buildings and streets, only Torne was by his side until a few seconds ago.
But as he looked at his flesh, Vicente suddenly looked up into the sky and saw a bird the size of an adult human appear in the sky and spin its flight toward them.
When they realized who it was, neither of them moved, allowing the beast to follow them.
"Venerable Fuller, I bring news from the south." The bird announced as it stopped in front of Vicente and Torne, pointing to the scroll it had tied to one of its legs.
Torne took the parchment and read it to Vicente.
"Dear Vicente, I wonder where you are now. Have you been fighting hard these last months? I think so. News of your battles has spread throughout the province, with warriors claiming that the situation in the region is once again improving because of you.
Annie and I are very proud of you. She recently turned two and misses you terribly. But every day she understands our situation and your absence better... It makes me sad though.
Please send messages through Greybill. Annie would love to hear from you.
But talking about serious things, I have fantastic news about Nina and Lauren..."
Torne continued to read Nova\'s letter, which spoke of things beyond the longing she, Vicente\'s other wives, and Annie felt for him.
Over the next five minutes, Torne read the entire contents of Nova\'s letter, informing Vicente of Nina\'s successes as a magician fighting for the family, as well as Lauren\'s accomplishments.
While Nina was slaying monsters in the Diamond Province and growing stronger by the day, Lauren was traveling between the Chutha Dynasty and the Kenyth Empire, hunting vampires in the area.
Vicente was confident his older sister could handle the vampires and 6th stage monsters in the region, so he wasn\'t on a mission to eliminate 100% of these creatures in the south and center of the Polaris Realm.
He had left some states to Lauren and the community survivors to deal with the vampires and monsters in those areas. He was more concerned with the stronger and more problematic enemies in more important areas.
It was good to hear from his two sisters, and Vicente couldn\'t help but smile at how well they represented him.
At the end of the letter, Nova also talked about Lina\'s progress to the 5th stage, as well as some numbers regarding the decrease in deaths among the family\'s warrior groups.
"Everything seems to be going well. At the current rate, Lauren could be a High-level Paragon by the time I deal with the strongest enemies, and Nina could be a Sky Sovereign by the same time.
Even if something happens to me, the continent and the family will hope for improvements in my absence." Vicente said to them while Torne shook his skeletal hands.
He would rather die himself than let that happen to Vicente!
But even though he was already a Mid-level Paragon, this ghost knew there were things he couldn\'t do, even if he wanted to!
He remained silent after Vicente\'s words, handing the parchment he had just read to his master, while the bird with them, Greybill, waited for its leader\'s orders to leave.
Vicente soon recorded a message on a magical device before ordering Greybill to deliver his message to Nova and Annie.
He then got up and headed north with Torne, eating his kebab.
...
After a few days of traveling north, Vicente spotted from above the first human city he had helped on his way back from the north.
Seeing Dresbert from above brought a smile to the young Fuller\'s face, for he found this place exactly as he had hoped: larger, with a security area connected to the other cities in the region!
Previously, he had left several circular areas surrounded by fences at certain distances from the seven cities in the area he had visited. But having left a lot of armor and weapons there, he left the possibility for these communities to move their fences and eventually connect them, forming a large safe area for humans.
Since it had been about 3 years since he had passed through this area, enough time had passed for the locals to accomplish this impressive feat.
He soon lowered the altitude of his flight, approaching the city until he landed in an area where there was one of the closest watchtowers to the city in the agricultural area of Dresbert.
Upon arrival, Vicente was identified by local guards and escorted to the Sentinels of the Order\'s headquarters.
To his surprise, Paragons had been emerging in this area for the three years he had been traveling south!
"Altar Master, welcome back to Dresbert!" a group of 15 Low-
level Paragons and 35 Sky Sovereigns said simultaneously as they bent their knees before Vicente.
In front of this powerful group, responsible for the administration and protection of this city, Vicente realized this was only a fraction of the strength of the Sentinels of the Order in this central area of the former Kingdom of Eternal Dawn.
"I see you\'ve made good use of the opportunities I\'ve given you... I\'m curious to hear your stories. Let\'s talk while we eat somewhere." He said to these individuals, soon heading for a restaurant he already knew in the area from his previous passage.
